The Committee noted that section 29(2) of the Bill of Rights provides that everyone has the right to receive education in the official language or languages of their choice in public educational institutions where that kind education is reasonably practicable. In order to ensure the effective access to, and implementation of this right, the state must consider all reasonable alternatives including single medium institutions taking into account equity, practicability, and the need to redress the results of past racially discriminatory laws and practices.
